They are doing it on purpose. He’s 38 years old, no one is letting him near the presidency. But these over the top statements are intended to make some other candidate look like not the craziest guy in the room.
You know that’s actually not the craziest hypothesis
I was watching a review of the GOP debates by some US political junkies just last week and one of the hosts said that Vivek knows he doesn't have a chance but is using this presidential run to get exposure for his planned foray into right wing talk show host. Something like Tucker or Alex Jones.
Great bang for your buck with free news media advertising by pretending to run for president and saying crazy stuff.
After hearing he wanted to start his own right wing talk show his character and mannerisms made so much more sense.
Apologies for the facebook link (They start talking about him around the 14 min mark and the comment on his talk show plans is at 20 mins)

More likely he's doing this on purpose to gain notoriety and wealth through media presence
Also he's trying to evade lawsuits
"They'd never let this guy take power!"
Where the fuck have you been.
It's like "conservatives" are actually compelled to make the worst, most unethical choice, every time...
Is this guy campaigning for American votes, or a Russian paycheck?
Yes. And failing that, yes.
Neither, I think his job is to absorb the negative attention so T looks less unhinged or maybe separate off the crazier magas.
At least they don't even try to hide how much they are in bed with Russia anymore.
how anyone cant seem through this blatent foreign agent acting against your country is beyond me. watching in amazement from down under
Anyone with two functioning brain cells does see it. Unfortunately, there is an entire political party for people who don't.
Russia can't even control it's own military with success, how the fuck are they gonna challenge China and put them on check. Lol this fuckin puppet has the whole arm in him.
US politicians are surprisingly easily bought by foreign adversaries
The worst thing about American political corruption is exactly how cheap these whores are.
Dont give this stupid ass a platform. Just dont talk about him. All the negative press is what gave credence to Trump by the anti crowd.
How the actual fuck are the Republicans not getting hammered in the polls?
Americans have been brainwashed for decades with 'communism bad' propaganda, so it seems mind-boggling that Republicans are so willing to give the former Soviet Union any control over Ukrainian soil. Part of the reason we've been fighting back against Russia's invasion with sanctions and equipment donations has been because they've been NATO's ideological enemy for decades.
I've actually seen a shirt that says "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat."
At this point being a Republican should be considered synonymous to being part of a conspiracy to commit treason and be treated as such.
Republicans at this point are just fighting over who will be the worst and most fucked up and evil mother fucker. They are basically debating over who is going to fuck their people (and the rest of the world in this instance) harder. I can never understand why anyone would vote for these goons.
Of course, because Republicans get money from Russia to betray their country. What's sad is that it doesn't take much.
We're not seeing this motherfuckers tax returns.
I cant read cyrillic anyway.
These debates seem more and more like massive focus groups. They get the non-contenders to say preposterous things with two goals: see what sticks and propagate lies.
Who the fuck does he think is. The US has zero rights to do anything like this.
I'm not into US politics other than the basics, but let me tell every American that the consequences of something like this happening will be catastrophic, and then you'll "fight" China alone, if not with more opponents.
Trump was already a huge liability to European foreign policy, if it happens again, the EU will dissociate from the US, weaponize and go nuclear. The eastern countries will enter direct conflict with Russia eventually (sooner than later), and the whole continent will get dragged into the war. At the end who ever is left will not support the US, actively be against it, and have nuclear weapons.
How fucking retarded is this guy?
Russia would make all the promises in the world until the US pulls all its support and resources from Ukraine. Once Ukraine falls, Russia would just tell the US to go fuck themselves and ally with China anyway.
Not that this whack job has a chance of becoming President and actually trying this shit, there's a less than 0% chance of it actually working.
This goes to show how utterly devoid of critical thinking capabilities those who vote for Republican candidates are.
It is clear their thoughts are no deeper than, Republican representative said this thing good, so must be good. Democrats bad, so Republican TV man must tell truth.
I've seen fucking Chimpanzees with better reasoning skills then these fucking clowns.
Luckily it’s not his to give.
Never vote Conservative/Republican/Tory or whatever name these RW crazies choose.
Guys like Vivek don't care about history because it's not new or exciting.
Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the more unappealing politicians I’ve seen in quite some time… which means that he will likely rocket up the GOP polls
EU sanctioning the fuck out of the US in 3, 2, 1...
This idiot watched Trump sucking off the Russians and thought that was why he was popular, so he's gonna go ahead and double down.
How the Republicans of all people have managed to turn into the PRO RUSSIA party I can hardly fathom. For all their rampant flag waving and mindlessly spouted "Support our troops" drivel, they'd have been the last ones to kowtow to Moscow. In the end of course, I Do understand. It's their fanatical worship of Trump, the idea that anyone who doesn't adore Inmate Number P01135809 is just a traitor, and He of course was willing to give the Russians anything and everything they wanted to keep that kompromat from being released. So, Republicans have just internalized the idea that Russians Good, just because Inmate P01135809 said so.
And of course because Democrats have been supporting anti-Russian policies. Republicans would rather be traitors than collaborate with the Democrats.
This is what a Russian Muppet looks like… naturally he’s a Republican.
If he thinks that Russia will break their military cooperation with China, he is even more stupider that Trump and Biden combined..
“ in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China”
OMG, so funny. That is even more unlikely than this tool becoming POTUS and I am not sure that would happen even if the rest of them were tragically killed.
Why is he backing a losing side?
It$ hard to really $ay why anyone doe$ anything, maybe he really think$ that $tability in europe can only be reached by conceding territory to the mo$t agr$$sive and dangerou$ belligrrant. Who know$.
